I made mine all in one piece and I think it looks much better. Actually I bent my chassis tubes rather than cutting and welding so there isn't a sharp corner...
Thanks Don, Fyi Keith used 26d, and the majority of others are up around 30d. It would seem the "book" 22d is a bit too upright and restrictive. Hence my...

That S is called a joggle, or Jogg. Yes I had thought of this. But (assuming I understand you) you'd need to bolt the panels together on that join, so you'd...
... <snip> ... panel ... I did overlap mine - I don't think it looks too bad! :) I chamfered down the edge of the top sheet, put some PU sealant between the ...
I believe a "joggle" is understood to be a 90 down and a 90 up. I referred to "bend the panel 180º one way and 180º the other" This forms a slot into which...
Hey guys, If I had to put my side panel on again I would use the DAX type horizontal air vent .. I urge you to seriously consider this for several reasons. 1....

David: Using two pieces on the sides is wise planning for when a panel might need replacement (hopefully from wear and tear) in future. Ed ... From: David...
Ed, Trouble with using PU sealant between the panels is that it doesn't come apart without a fight - I doubt whether either panel would be any good afterwards....
NOTE FROM MODERATOR : Although I would prefer this topic be over and done with, I think this email contains a lot of important facts that should bring this...
David: I had been thinking of using only rivets. I was around race cars extensively in the 1960's and 1970's and it was a common practice to use no adhesives....
Does anyone have a set of Cortina or RWD Escort spindles sitting around that they could do some measuring off of for me? I need to know things like ball joint...

Ed, I only used the stuff to keep water out. I only realised how strong PU really is when I messed up my rear panel and had to remove it for replacement! I'm...
I decided on 41 degrees from vertical after seeing a Striker and owning a TVR Tasmin. This should give less buffeting but results in more glass for the same...
As long as you won't hit your forehead on the top of the windshield frame in an accident. Keep them harnesses snug. Car looks nice, great paint. Don...
Don, The picture is a bit deceiving, the top of the screen is a fare distance away from my head. But you are right, keeping the 4 point harness snug is a...

You are right - indicators are on the nose to meet with UK SVA requirements which sound similar to the NZ ones. The original seven is so old that it predates...
Engine has only done about 6 hours running on new rings (on a professional rebuild), so I would hope they are not knackered already! (and problem showed up...
